The Qatar 2022 World Cup begins, and as is customary in recent editions, the opening game is the one that the locals will play against one of the teams in their group, in this case, Ecuador. It will undoubtedly be a tough game, and at the same time interesting to watch between two teams that are not the favorites to be leaders of this Group A.
The favorites to finish as leaders are the Netherlands. In the case of the locals, they will seek to surprise since, although their team has grown a lot in recent years, they are the underdogs. Ecuador know that they have a chance to get second place, which they will have to fight against Senegal. It will be key for this to obtain a good result against the locals.
